EPC to Showcase eGaN Technology-Based High Power Density DC-DC Conversion for Cars and Computers, as well as Many Other Applications at PCIM Europe 2019

EPC to Showcase eGaN Technology-Based High Power Density DC-DC Conversion for Cars and Computers, as well as Many Other Applications at PCIM Europe 2019

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) will exhibit live demonstrations at PCIM Europe 2019 showing how GaN technology’s superior performance is transforming power delivery for entire industries including computing, communications, and transportation.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.— April 2019 — The EPC team will be delivering seven technical presentations on gallium nitride (GaN) technology and applications at PCIM Europe 2019 in Nuremberg, Germany from May 7th through the 9th. In addition, in Hall 7, Stand 335, the company will exhibit its latest eGaN® FETs and ICs in customers’ end products that are rapidly adopting eGaN technology.

EPC will be demonstrating eGaN devices in several applications including: high performance 48 V DC-DC power conversion for advanced computing and automotive applications, high power nanosecond pulsed laser drivers for lidar used in autonomous vehicles, multiple device, large area wireless power for consumer and industrial applications, and precision motor drives for robotics and drones.

PCIM Europe (Power Conversion and Intelligent Motion) is the leading international exhibition for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy and energy management. International exhibitors inform visitors about the newest products, trends and developments in the power electronics industry. PCIM Europe is the forum for technologies for the whole value chain of the power electronics industry, from the components to the intelligent system.
